Place the following actions that should be done for baby girl C immediately after birth from most important to least important. (ORDERED RESPONSE)
Suction the baby as needed
Teach mother how to do cord care
Dry the baby
Apply identification bracelets to mother and baby
The Correct Answer is C, A, D, B
Drying the baby is the most important first step to prevent heat loss and initiate thermoregulation. Suctioning is needed if there are signs of airway obstruction but is secondary to ensuring the baby’s warmth. Applying identification bracelets is necessary to ensure proper identification but is not as critical as ensuring the baby is warm and breathing. Teaching the mother cord care can be done after addressing more immediate concerns such as warmth and identification.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. The high blood volume and Wharton's jelly content in the umbilical cord help protect it from compression.
B. The umbilical cord normally contains two arteries and one vein. A statement suggesting two veins is incorrect and indicates a need for additional teaching.
C. The fetal heart starts to beat around 4 weeks of gestation.
D. A Doppler can detect fetal heartbeats as early as 8-12 weeks.
Correct Answer is ["C","E","F"]
Explanation
A. The active stage of labor typically begins when cervical dilation is around 4 cm. LC’s dilation of 6 cm suggests that she is already in the active phase, but this is not confirmed based on this vaginal exam alone.
B. LC is not 80% dilated; the figure 6/80/-1 indicates 6 cm dilation, 80% effaced, and -1 station (fetal head is still above the ischial spines).
C. The fetal station of -1 indicates that the presenting part (head) is 1 cm above the pelvic outlet, which is consistent with this description.
D. The presenting part being 1 cm below the ischial spines would indicate a station of +1, which is not described here.
E. The cervix is 80% effaced, meaning it is more than halfway thinned, which is correct.
F. With a dilation of 6 cm, LC is in the active phase of labor, not the latent phase, but the question refers to the latent phase for comparison.
